In this month’s editor’s picks, we meet Andrea Gjestvang’s atlantic cowboys – the Faroese men increasingly living without women. We explore an Italian city newly freed form the grip of the Mafia, and enjoy an audience with Magnum’s Cristina de Middel.

We also discover a photographer’s guide to Japan’s capital city, and hear from the winners of the Environment category at this year’s Sony World Photography Awards.
